Hello to all my fellow Pods. Even though my owners have had be out a couple of times since the end ofDecember I have been too lazy to write anything.  Today I finally decided it was time to writesomething. 

My owners took me down to Isla Blanca County Park on So.Padre Island on the 31^st . The forecast for the weekend wasn’t that great be they wanted to see thefireworks for New Year’s.  As usual thetrip down was uneventful.  They knew thatfinding a spot where they wanted could be a challenge They picked out a spotthey had listed on their list of decent sites. So we drive in a look for the site. We couldn’t even find it looking from the road even after 2 passes.  So we found a site that looked prettygood.  They tried calling the office tochange sites, but as in the past they were put on the hold from hell.  Paul finally unhooked me and drove to theoffice and changed the site.  Once theygot me and my R-dome set up the person from the site next to us came over andintroduced himself.  He was a WinterTexan from Illinois.  He turned out to bequite talkative and quite the character. The day turned out to be pretty decent even though there was somefog.  That night my owners left me about11:30 to go see the fireworks, they wouldn’t let me come.  They said there just wasn’t room. Although Idid hear them say when they got back there were a couple of class B motorhomes.  I really couldn’t see too much but my ownerstook some pictures to show me. 

Sunday brought some light rain and cooler temperatures andsome wind.  We just sat around did a jigsay puzzle and late in the afternoon decide since the forecast for Monday wasn’ta whole lot better and they couldn’t walk the beach it wasn’t really worth itto stay.  So we packed up and wenthome.  All in all anytime we can get outtogether is better than sitting around. 

Our next trip was to Adolph Thomae county park in ArroyoCity.  It’s another park we have been tomany times.  My owner decided to go Fridayevening even though they knew it would be dark when we arrived.  This would be a new experience, setting up inthe dark.  I heard my owners talking andwhen the reservations were made they only had 1 site open in the area theyliked.  When we got there we found allthe sites in the section my owners like full except for ours.  Paul was smart and had brought along a bigflood light.  It turned out to be reallyhelpful backing me in and getting me setup. They decided since they wouldn’t be sitting outside just to put my rugand the R-dome up in the morning.  Saturday,my owner put up my R-dome.  I was a goodthing they did as there were a bunch of redwing black birds which decide toperch in the branches over the R-dome.  Weall know what happens when birds just sit around.  I was lucky I didn’t get any on me.  Maybe they were intimidated by my antenna& air conditioner.  Now by ownerswill have to wash the top of the R-dome. Paul had put some new speakers in my entertainment center, replacing thecheap white ones with some DB Drive S5 60 speakers.  WOW what a difference in sound.  We listened to music from Pauls’ iPod whichhe plugs into the entertainment center and they read while I just grooved on themusic.  My owner’s commented they hadnever seen the park that crowded.  Fromwhat they said most of them were Winter Texans.  Usually I am the smallest trailer in the park but I heard my owners say,someone had one that could not have been over 12 ft long. Yeah me! The weather bothdays was fantastic, highs in the low 80’s and lows in the upper 60’s.  We really enjoyed sitting around watching the boats go up and down the river, seeing the wildlife, dolphins, deer and a variety of birds. We packed up Sunday afternoon and made theshort 40 min. trip how.  They said whenthe wash off the top of my R-dome I’m going to get a bath too.  I don’t think I really need one, the areabehind my tires isn’t dirty.  Oh well Iguess I will just have to live with it.

That’s it for now.

Happy Podding.
